BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon by Cassandra M

061 – Merciless and Ruthless

I knew what I was getting into when I told Lucien I would go to the underworld. It could lead to my demise, but I feared nothing except not knowing when I would see Lucy again. Lucy might have thought this was a stupid thing to do, but I wasn’t taking my chances on her, especially now that I knew she was my fated mate.

And did I say the men around me had horns and tails, with scaling dark skin? Fucking horrible-looking creatures and I wondered if

Lucy had this kind of form too. But with her, I was imagining Mystique of the X-men.

Fuck! I was getting a hard dick just thinking about Lucy in that form. I should have
